Please be careful and handle with care

I am not a glass bowl or delicate silverware

I am composed of emotions we all share

Just be careful and handle with care

It might not be apparent at first glance

The way we interface and feeling we stomp

Because I am as fragile as an ancient lamp

That cannot be repair once crush and smash

I do not carry a sign with instructions

If I did you might not read or care

My conversation is to bring it to your attention

The damage that could occur so just beware

The golden rule is in effect

Check any rudeness at the alley or door

To be kind and willing to listen

Is ability we grown folks have?

A basic behavior taught in our youth

Disappear during adulthood

It is not hard to believe or understand

Why it is knowledge not share with the younger generation

So be careful and handle with care

Leave no marks on my soul or other hardware

Kindness is required to mend me

Labels not read can harm me

A gesture of goodwill will work also

It is what we do whether then what is told

For those of us that care for other

Know the value of

Please handle with care and value others
